I reached for Lane’s hand once we left the rental SUV in the parking lot and started across the grassy lawn of the Maritime Museum. I was pleased when he took it without a word and laced our fingers together.

“Our dad spent most of his summers here, so he’s the one who started the oyster tradition,” Lane said.

I looked around us. The place was like a picture postcard with the lighthouse and museum buildings in front of the docks and water of the bay. The town itself was one of those quintessential main street villages with restaurants and shops lining the main throughway and thronging with visitors for the holiday.

Ethan led the way up the steps to the porch of a white clapboard house with black shutters and tables on the porch and a patio around to the side. The interior was as house-like as the outside, cool with air conditioning and just starting to get busy.

Ethan grabbed a table in the back and Lane dropped my hand. “I’m going to check out the oysters,” he said.

“Uh,” I said, as Lane disappeared through the double doors leading to the kitchen. Ethan snickered.

“Don’t worry, they don’t mind if you go back there. They lay out all the different varieties so you can look them over first.” He eyed me. “Lane takes his oysters very seriously.”

“Good to know,” I said. I sat in the chair across from him as a server came by with water. Ethan ordered a pitcher of beer and rolled his eyes when asked for ID. She came back a few minutes later with a pitcher and three chilled glasses.

Ethan poured for us both, still eyeing me a bit skeptically, and I wondered if this was going to be the Brother Talk. Ethan didn’t disappoint. “So, you and Lane.”

I took a sip of the chilled beer. “Is this where you threaten bodily harm if I hurt him?”

“Something like that,” Ethan said. I suppressed a smile at the thought of Ethan threatening anyone. He wasn’t skinny but he was even leaner than Lane, all long limbs and coltishness. But the fierce gleam in his eyes was very serious.

“I don’t plan on hurting him,” I said. It was the last thing I wanted to do. Hell, after seeing him here with his family, and the obvious love he had for them and vice versa, I was already halfway to falling for him.

I took another sip of beer to cover my shock at that realization. Because it was one thing to flirt, to give into attraction with a friendly blowjob or two, and quite another to wish I was here as Lane’s actual boyfriend and not just his pretend one.

“Lane’s not someone you can fuck around with,” Ethan said abruptly.

I swallowed the beer in my mouth and lowered my glass. “What do you mean?”

“I mean that he doesn’t just open up to anyone. If he does, it means he really likes you. And if he likes you, then he’s all in. He
